The Benefits of Networking

Talking to or contacting people you know to find job leads is the most effective way to find a job. Because most of us find a job through personal contacts-people we already know such as our friends and family, our doctor, dentist, and people we meet when we go shopping and during our normal everyday lives. Personal contacts are also the people that our friends and family know.
